Alan Edward
GALLIE (known to everyone as 'Doc') was born Feb
13, 1915 in Toronto, Ontario and died peacefully on August 6,
2005. Doc will be best remembered for his remarkable interest
in everything and everyone around him, and his extraordinary
ability to make Friends. Doc, a born engineer and natural outdoorsman,
worked for Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. for 42 years in numerous
mining camps throughout Northern Ontario and Manitoba. In 1939
he married his high school sweetheart Mary
MITCHELL and took
her to northern Manitoba where they spent their first winter
in a tent at 40 below, to the horror of their parents and delight
of themselves. As mine manager at Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Doc orchestrated
the move of an entire town - buildings, people, dogs and all
- 147 miles over a winter road from Sherridon to a new mine site
at Lynn Lake. He never hesitated to get his hands dirty or to
see things done right. Later, Doc became Vice President of Sales
and travelled around the world selling Sherritt's nickel. When
he retired, he and Mary lived full-time at the 'Saltbox' near
Claremont, Ontario just outside Toronto. His passions were fly-fishing
at Glenmajor, bird-watching and gardening. He energetically cared
for future generations, with a deep involvement in the Canadian
Mineral Industry Education Foundation scholarship program for
engineering students, the Daisy Fund for children seeking treatment
for retinoblastoma, and the pursuit of justice, honesty and common
sense. Throughout it all, Doc built innumerable Friendships,
born of a wonderful confidence, deep interest in and respect
for others. Doc lived at his beloved Saltbox until the last day
of his life. He died in his daughter Brenda's house in Toronto,
surrounded by his family, enquiring after the interesting details
of their lives until the end. Doc,

Mining engineer made history by moving an entire town across
245 kilometres of frozen muskeg in northern Manitoba
By Michael
VALPY,
Wednesday,August 10, 2005, Page S6
Alan▲▼Edward▲▼
(Doc▼)
GALLIE was a Canadian mining engineer of pioneer
legend, a dashing adventurer of the North, a passionate outdoorsman
and an engaging charmer in his youth who could roller-skate his
way into the hearts of beautiful young women.
He made history by moving an entire town over 245 kilometres
of frozen muskeg in northern Manitoba. He revelled in working
beside men named Half-Ear Andy, Rubbernose Ragolski, Bonehead
Joe and Alphabet Smith.
He snow-shoed through a valley at night pursued by wolves ("The
fastest I ever snow-shoed," he later told his daughters), walked
away more than once from plane crashes in the wilderness and
on one occasion trekked alone into the bush to bring out a deranged,
homicidal prospector.
In the latter part of his 42-year career with Sherritt Gordon
Mines Ltd. -- now Sherritt International -- he was vice-president
of marketing, travelling the world to sell Canadian nickel.
Doc GALLIE was a tall, fit man -- 6-foot-4 -- with enormous self-confidence
who made Friends wherever he went. He had a sunny view of life.
His maxim was that he wanted the world to be nice. He was a doer,
a builder who hated merely watching things happen.
Throughout his professional life, he was engaged in programs
awarding bursaries and scholarships to Canadian engineering students
and finding jobs for them at home when they graduated so that
they would not leave the country. He did not like old people,
his family said of him. He wanted to be around the young.
Mr. GALLIE acquired the nickname of Doc as a student at Upper
Canada College when one of the masters asked him if he was the
son of Toronto's internationally renowned orthopedic surgeon
Dr. William
GALLIE.
YoungAlan▲▼GALLIE said yes, and he was known
as Doc ever after.
While he was still at Upper Canada College, his mother arranged
a date for him for a school dance with the daughter of one of
her Friends. Doc
GALLIE roller-skated over to the girl's house,
knocked on the door, was admitted into the front hall and, as
he later said, down the stairs to meet him came the most beautiful
creature he'd ever seen -- Mary
MITCHELL.
Doc GALLIE decided to become a mining engineer after hearing
tales of the Northern Ontario mining town of Cobalt told over
lunch one day by a medical colleague of his father's who practised
in the community.
As a student at University of Toronto, one of his engineering
professors, H.E.T.
HAULTAIN, asked the young man to be his assistant
on a trip to Africa in 1936. Prof.
HAULTAIN lectured him each
morning on the 21-day ocean crossing so that he wouldn't fall
behind in his studies, then took him to some of the continent's
great mines.
In Bulawayo, Rhodesia -- now Zimbabwe -- he took time off to
go roller-skating in a local rink, collided with a pretty girl,
knocked her down, helped her up and dated her.
Back home, after graduating with honours in 1938, he started
work with Sherritt in northern Manitoba and shortly thereafter
telephoned Mary
MITCHELL in Toronto to ask if she would be ready
to marry him in two weeks. Mary said yes, while her mother, overhearing
the conversation, said no.
They married in the chapel of Bishop Strachan School and she
became his life's closest companion, fellow adventurer and equally
passionate aficionado of the outdoors.
After a honeymoon in New York and holiday celebrations at home
for Christmas, Mary accompanied her new husband into the bush
where their first home was a mine-office tent shared with the
company geologists with the new Mrs.
GALLIE assigned the job
of camp radio operator.
That first winter of their marriage, the temperature dropped
more than once to 40 below. "When our Samoyed dog climbed into
bed with us at 3 in the morning, I knew it was time to put more
wood in the stove," Mr.
GALLIE later wrote.
FromManitoba,Mr.GALLIE was sent in 1941 to manage an iron
mine at Josephine, near Wawa, Ontario The mine was under a lake
and, in 1946, the lake bed unexpectedly let go and flooded the
mine. Mr. GALLIE wrote his engineering master's thesis on why
it happened.
In 1947 -- now with two young daughters, Joan and Brenda -- he
was reassigned to northern Manitoba, and five years later supervised
the unprecedented feat of closing down an exhausted mine, in
Sherridon, and moving the equipment and the entire town site
245 kilometres north over winter roads to a new ore body at Lynn
Lake (where a third daughter, Ann, was born).
Mr. GALLIE was made assistant to the president of Sherritt Gordon
in 1958, a job he said neither he nor the president felt had
any purpose.
At that time, "no one [in the company] was really doing anything
about selling the product," Mr.
GALLIE noted. All the company's
contracts were with U.S. steel companies and the U.S. government,
and they were coming to an end.
So Mr. GALLIE basically invented a job for himself as vice-president
of sales and spent the next two decades selling the company's
output around the world.
At home in Canada, Alan and Mary
GALLIE indulged in their hearts'
passions of canoeing, bird watching, fishing and the garden of
the 150-year-old Cape Cod saltbox home they bought at Claremont,
northeast of Toronto. When Mrs.
GALLIE died in 1998, Mr.
GALLIE
sold their Toronto home and moved permanently to "The Saltbox,"
close to the Glenmajor fishing camp he belonged to and loved.
He lived an active life at The Saltbox until a few days before
his death.
He was 90 when he died, surrounded by family members in the home
of his daughter, oncologist Dr. Brenda
GALLIE.
He'd had a martini
a few hours earlier, made jokes and chatted with his family about
what they were doing. He said he was looking forward to death
as his next adventure.

Second boy dies in swim mishap
By Cassandra
SZKLARSKI,
CanadianPress
Toronto -- A Toronto family's tragedy deepened last night after
the second of three brothers died in hospital following an ill-fated
swim in a converted quarry near Fergus.
Calvin LE, 7, died yesterday at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children
after he had been admitted in critical condition Sunday.
His brother, Larry
LE, 9, was pronounced dead Sunday at Groves
Memorial Hospital in Fergus.
Their brother Anthony
LE, 8, was in fair condition yesterday
at Hamilton's McMaster Hospital.
Anthony LE was pulled from a pond at the Belwood Lake conservation
area Sunday after someone spotted him in the water. The boy's
mother was apparently in such shock that she momentarily forgot
about her two other sons who had also slipped under the water.
Bystanders said they frantically searched for about 10 minutes
before someone spotted the other boys and brought their limp
bodies ashore.
The tragedy has prompted a review of safety measures at 12 southern
Ontario swimming areas, the conservation agency responsible for
the park said yesterday.
Provincial police said it was not clear whether the boys had
entered an off-limits area that plunged up to 4 1/2 metres from
a depth of just one metre near the shore.
"They were found just offshore, which isn't that far out, but
there is a real deep drop shortly after the rope that's out there,"
said Const. Jennifer
SMITH.
She called the accident "preventable" and said police were investigating
whether the boys knew how to swim.
The brothers' deaths occurred a little more than a week after
a 15-year-old boy drowned at an unsupervised reservoir in Cambridge
run by the same conservation authority that oversees the small
Fergus beach near Belwood Lake.
The teen's death June 3 spurred officials to question whether
enough was being done to keep visitors safe, said Dave
SCHULTZ,
a spokesperson for the Grand River Conservation Authority.
None of the agency's natural swimming areas have patrols, but
they all include signs warning beachgoers to supervise children
and to obey buoys marking deep waters.
"We are going to do a general review of all the safety procedures
at our beaches,"
SCHULTZ said.
"We're going to look at the signage, we're going to look at the
buoy line, we're going to look at emergency procedures."
The deaths of the Toronto brothers came after a 28-year-old Kitchener
man drowned Saturday night at a private quarry near Guelph.
SMITH said the man wasn't a strong swimmer.
"It's unusual," she said of the accidents. "But it's an unusually
warm June, as well. The heat and the humidity are sending people
to bodies of water. We just have to use water safety."

Swim tragedy claims second child victim
Seven-year-old boy dies in hospital a day after his brother drowned
By Joe FRIESEN and Eric
VANDENBUSSCHE, Tuesday, June 14, 2005,
Page A15
With reports from Jen
GERSON and Ken
KILPATRICK in Hamilton
Fergus -- Already reeling from the drowning of their nine-year-old
boy, a Toronto family was faced with a mounting tragedy last
night as their seven-year-old son died in a Toronto hospital.
Calvin LE had been in critical care at the Hospital for Sick
Children in Toronto after a swimming accident that killed his
brother Larry on Sunday.
The LE family spent the day shuttling between the Hospital for
Sick Children and the McMaster Medical Centre in Hamilton, where
a third son, eight-year-old Anthony, is being treated. Anthony's
condition was upgraded to fair from serious yesterday.
The three children were involved in a horrifying incident at
a beach in the Belwood Lake Conservation Area near Fergus on
Sunday afternoon. The boys were swimming in the shallow water
when someone noticed that Anthony was in trouble. He was pulled
from the water and bystander Eddie
RIVERA began to administer
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The boy's mother was apparently
in such shock that she momentarily forgot about her two other
sons who had also slipped under the water.
After a frantic 10-minute search, the two boys were pulled from
the bottom by Mr.
RIVERA of Kitchener, who had just finished
reviving Anthony using cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Mr. RIVERA, 28, told the Guelph Mercury that he dove deep into
the water and scooped the two boys from the lake bottom, carrying
them to the surface.
"It was just cold and dark," he said yesterday. "I knew I was
going to run into a face. I guess I was more or less scared."
The boys were swimming at a former quarry site that has been
transformed into a bathing area. The designated swimming zone,
which is about one metre deep, is roped off with a floating line
of white buoys. Beyond that line, the bottom drops off sharply,
reaching a depth of five metres in the centre.
There are no lifeguards on duty, nor is there any supervision.
Large signs near the beach warn parents that the beach patrol
service, which operated until 1996, has been discontinued and
that the safety of their children is their responsibility.
Yesterday, the Grand River Conservation Authority, which is responsible
for the area, said it would examine safety procedures at all
of its beaches in the wake of this incident and another recent
drowning near Cambridge, Ontario
Dave SCHULTZ, spokesman for the conservation authority, said
the review would likely examine issues such as signage and emergency
procedures and might consider the question of staffing.
He said the beach patrol was discontinued partly for financial
reasons and partly because it was thought to provide parents
with a false sense of security. Members of the beach patrol were
not trained lifeguards but watched swimmers.
Mr. SCHULTZ said budget cuts that were accelerated under the
government of Mike Harris reduced the conservation authority's
funding by several million dollars. A 1996 report to the authority's
planning committee recommended cutting the beach patrol service
because it was being phased out in other areas of the province
and because it would save about $50,000 a year.
At Sick Kids hospital yesterday, more than half a dozen family
members, many fighting tears, crowded into a corner of the waiting
room of the critical-care unit.
In Hamilton, Le
LINH, an uncle from Guelph, was with the boys'
parents as they sat at Anthony's bedside.
He said their mother is very upset, but added that he didn't
know much more.
"They don't talk too much, so I don't know exactly what happened.
I just know they've [the children] been drowned in the water,"
he said.
He added that he thinks Anthony's condition is improving.
"He's a little bit awake and then they are going to take the
tube out," he said. "Once in a while, he is moving and trying
to wake up, but he can hear."
At the boys' elementary school, St. Jane Frances Catholic School
on Jane Street in North York, principal Maria
CIOPPA said the
community was shocked and saddened by the news.
Larry's Grade 4 teacher, Maria LA
REGINA, said he was a creative
child with a mischievous smile. He was so small he would often
be confused for a Grade 1 pupil and was known for his funny dances.
Mary Jo DEIGHAN, a spokeswoman for the Catholic School Board,
said counselling services will be provided at the school for
the next several days.
"This shows how important it is to look after children," Ms.
DEIGHAN said. "Never let them out of your sight, not even for
a second."

Boy found dead near Wasaga Beach
Suspected drowning victim believed by police to be missing six-year-old
By Joe FRIESEN,
Monday,July 25, 2005, Page A11
Police discovered a body in the Nottawasaga River yesterday,
a few hundred metres from the crowded beach where a six-year-old
boy went missing Saturday during a family outing.
Constable Mark
KINNEY of the Ontario Provincial Police said the
body is believed to be that of Terry
THANHTAIK of Toronto. The
boy's parents were expected to formally identify the body last
night before a postmortem is conducted.
The boy is believed to have drowned.
"There's nothing that we've found so far that would lead us to
believe there's foul play, but we don't rule out anything until
we're 100-per-cent sure," Constable
KINNEY said.
Terry and his parents arrived at Wasaga Beach Provincial Park
with a number of Friends and family for a day of sun and sand,
as they often did in the summer. The beach was crowded, and Terry,
who was an only child, was in and out of the water all day. His
parents said they last saw him on the beach at about 3: 45 p.m.
At 4 p.m., they called police to report him missing.
"He was on the beach, and the next thing, he was gone," Constable
KINNEY said. "It wasn't like he was way out in the water."
There was an onshore breeze that day, and the waves were less
than a metre high. Terry had taken some swimming lessons, Constable
KINNEY said.
"The information we got was that he was taking swimming lessons,
but I don't know to what extent."
There were no lifeguards on duty at the beach, which is about
two hours north of Toronto and often filled with hundreds of
people on summer weekends.
The body was found around 2: 30 p.m. yesterday by a searcher from
the Ministry of Natural Resources, one of several agencies called
in to assist with the search.
Constable KINNEY also said that 200 people dressed as soldiers
for a battle re-enactment joined the search on Saturday, combing
the town for clues. A water search went on through the night,
with searchers feeling their way along the lake bottom in the
dark.
This is the latest in a series of child drowning deaths in Ontario
this summer.
Last month brothers Larry
LE, 9, and Calvin
LE, 7, drowned at
Belwood Lake near Fergus, Ontario, in an incident that left a
third brother in serious condition.
Also this summer, a 15-year-old drowned at a lake near Cambridge,
Ontario; a 12-year-old died in a pool in Mississauga; and a six-year-old
drowned at a beach in Huron County.
Figures released last week by the Canadian Institute for Health
Information indicate that almost 500 Canadians drown every year,
almost half of them young children. It is the second-leading
cause of accidental death in children under the age of 5, behind
automobile accidents.
On an average summer day in Ontario, seven people are treated
in an emergency room for a water-related injury, the Canadian
Institute for Health Information study said.
"For every child that drowned in 2002-2003, there were six to
10 more who almost drowned and required hospitalization," Margaret
KERESTECI, manager of clinical registries at Canadian Institute
for Health Information, said in a release last week.
"When you take into account that one in four children in Ontario
who experience near drowning sustains permanent brain damage,
you start to get an idea of how vital it is to make water safety
a priority."

Family swim turns tragic
About 200 people watch as body found in murky water
Shocked mother didn't realize two other sons were missing
By Chris WILSON-

WithFilesFrom Henry
STANCU
Fergus, Ontario -- In shock from seeing her son's body, a Toronto
woman forgot about her other two boys. And then the unthinkable
happened.
One boy drowned and his two young brothers were airlifted to
hospital yesterday after being discovered in an unsupervised
swimming area at a conservation area in Fergus, near Guelph.
Larry LE, 9, was pronounced dead at Groves Memorial Hospital
in Fergus.
Calvin LE, 7, was taken to Groves Memorial and later airlifted
to Toronto Sick Children's Hospital, police said. Anthony
LE,
8, was airlifted to McMaster Hospital in Hamilton and is listed
in critical condition, police said last night.
"He's doing better," the boys' uncle said of Calvin, as he stood
with a group of relatives last night outside Sick Kids. "He's
breathing on his own now."
The uncle, who did not want to be identified, said both parents
were at the Toronto hospital and were heading to Hamilton late
last night.
The parents, who are in their 30s and live on Jane St. in North
York, were at the park for a day trip. They have no other children.
It was the second drowning in the area this weekend. On Saturday,
a Kitchener man drowned at the Dolime Quarry just outside of
Guelph.
In Fergus, about 200 people watched early in the afternoon as
Larry was pulled out of the water onto the crowded beach at Belwood
LakeConservationArea, said Keith
WHITTAKER, a 50-year-old Toronto
resident who was fishing nearby with his son.
"People were trying to save him, and it didn't look like they
were doing so well,"
WHITTAKER said, his voice breaking.
It wasn't until someone was attempting to resuscitate Larry that
the mother realized she didn't know where her other two children
were.
"All of a sudden she cried out that her other two sons were missing,"
WHITTAKER said. "It was terrible."
A group of bystanders frantically searched the water for about
10 minutes before someone spotted the other boys under water,
said WHITTAKER's 22-year-old son, Mark.
"It was the worst day of my life... if only we knew the other
two kids were missing when we were all watching to make sure
the first boy was living, we might have been able to do more,"
he said.
The Toronto brothers were found in about a metre of water in
an area where beach-goers were swimming just before the first
boy was pulled from the water, Keith
WHITTAKER said.
"We were going crazy trying to find them, but the water was so
thick... it almost made it impossible to see anything.
"Finally, somebody bumped into a body."
The older
WHITTAKER said all three boys "looked lifeless."
One portion of the swimming area is fenced off for children --
it doesn't get any deeper than about a metre. Keith
WHITTAKER
said the bodies were found outside the kids' area, where Grand
RiverConservationAuthority spokesperson Dave
SCHULTZ said it
gets as deep as 4.5 metres.
Emergency crews, including Wellington County Ontario Provincial
Police and two helicopter ambulances, arrived at 1: 50 p.m. --
about 20 minutes after the second and third boys were found,
said Const. Jennifer
SMITH.
"This is an extremely tragic incident, and obviously the boys'
mother is upset,"
SMITH said.
Keith WHITTAKER said waiting for the emergency crews "felt like
an eternity. Bystanders said the boys' mother was having trouble
communicating with emergency response crews.
"She was screaming for her sons, that's all we know for sure,"
WHITTAKER said. "I just wish we could have done more."
Visitors to the spot are confronted by an 2.4 by 2.4 metre sign
that reads: "Beach patrol services have been discontinued...
Do not leave children unattended."
The conservation authority's
SCHULTZ said the beach patrol was
cut in 1996 when funding from the provincial government dwindled.
"They weren't necessarily trained in emergency response, but
having another set of eyes sometimes helped," he said. The authority
will examine if system changes need to be made,
SCHULZ said.
Extreme weekend heat was also a "likely contributing factor"
in the drowning of a Kitchener man on Saturday night,
SMITH said.
Three men had taken a cab from Kitchener to cool off and take
a swim in the quarry, police said. The 28-year-old man, whose
name was not released, jumped into the water at the Dolime Quarry
at County Road 124 and Kossuth Road.
He came up once, waved his arms, went back under and did not
resurface, police said.
One of the man's Friends called 911 but emergency personnel were
not able to locate the victim.

600 attend boys' funeral
Brothers, 9, and 7, killed in swimming tragedy
By Huang NAILI,
StaffReporter
When the two little golden caskets covered with flowers were
lowered into the grave at noon yesterday, Truc
LE collapsed to
the ground.
She rested her head against a railing surrounding the grave and
reached out her right hand as if to touch her sons one more time.
Again and again, she called out the names of her two lost boys,
Larry and Calvin, her frail voice almost drowned out by sobbing
relatives and Friends.
The two Toronto brothers whose lives were claimed by a family
swimming tragedy last Sunday were put to rest side by side at
the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Thornhill.
More than 600 people, some of them classmates and their families,
crowded into St. Jane Frances Church on Jane St. for the service,
held in Vietnamese and English.
Truc LE, 40, sank to her knees right in front of the grave and
prayed.
A family member said Truc was asking her sons to bless their
brother Anthony, the only survivor of the tragedy at Guelph's
Belwood Lake Conservation Area, who is recovering at the Hospital
for Sick Children.
Soan Thi NGUYEN, 78, the boys' grandmother who helped raise the
children, also threw herself onto the caskets. Family members
said she has been crying since the accident and has lost her
voice.
Larry, 9, died Sunday after he drowned in the lake. Calvin, 7,
died Monday night at Sick Kids. His major organs were donated
to help other children live.
Theresa NGUYEN, 9, and her brother, Anh Tuan
NGUYEN, 12, listened
to the mass in the foyer outside the overflowing chapel. She
and the LE brothers attended St. Jane Frances Catholic School.
"I'll always remember him as a funny guy," she said.
"We are making cards for the boys. We painted pictures like two
little boys in heaven and we wrote words like 'We miss you' and
'We hope you have a peaceful time in heaven.'"
Mimi CHAU, 45, cried quietly in a corner of the foyer. She doesn't
know the family but said she came out of respect.
"I'm one of the Vietnamese boat people who made a long way to
have a life here in Canada, just as the boys' father. I came
because I feel so sad for the family," said
CHAU.
She read the news in a local Vietnamese newspaper while at Sick
Kids on Tuesday, where her 15-year-old daughter was receiving
a kidney transplant.
NotingToronto'sVietnamese community isn't that big,
CHAU said
"whenever something like this happens, everyone would go out
to help."
When the priests were sprinkling the two caskets with holy water,
Theresa TRAN, a Sunday school teacher at the church, cried out
with the boys' aunt, Anh
LE.
The three brothers attended
TRAN's
Vietnamese language class
every Sunday and June 5 was the last day before summer vacation.
"That Sunday was the last time I saw them. They are charming
boys," TRAN said.
TRAN was preparing a gift her students in the last class.
Because the three boys were always very active and occassionally
naughty, she teased them, saying they wouldn't receive anything.
"They all begged, 'Oh, Miss
TRAN, please, please give us a gift.
We'll be good. We promise to behave in September.'"
TRAN finally gave the three kids a book, a pencil and a little
bear.
At the cemetery, Sabrina
CARD and Wladimir
ROBLERO of Pickering,
were special guests of the family. They were at the lake when
tragedy struck."I was just fortunate to be there. I was able
to grab Anthony and take him to the shore so we could start (cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation)."
"We feel sorry, deeply sorry for the family,"
CARD said. "We
were busy doing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on Anthony without
knowing what was happening to Larry and Calvin." They were later
found lying under water.
Yesterday,
CARD gave the boys' mother, a kiss on the cheek. "I
told her she has to stay strong for Anthony."
Anh LE, the boys' aunt who was supervising the children, "is
having a very hard time," said a family member.
"The family is learning the lesson the hard way. But we should
all learn and teach water safety to (kids).
"The government should bring back swimming lessons to schools,"
he said.
Another mass will be celebrated in Vietnamese at St. Jane Frances
Catholic Church at 5: 30 p.m. today.
The Vietnamese community has set up a trust fund for the family
at a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch, transit number
05522, account 2681439. Tax receipts are available.

Girl, 4, drowns near Huntsville
Parents discover child early in morning
'We don't know what happened': Police
By Roberta
AVERY,
Special To
TheStar
Huntsville -- A family visit to the cottage turned into tragedy
early yesterday morning when the body of a 4-year-old Burlington
girl, Regan
HARSHAW, was found in the waters of Skeleton Lake,
about 25 kilometres southwest of Huntsville.
"The family is having a very tough time dealing with this terrible
tragedy," said Const. Ted
SMITH of the Ontario Provincial Police's
Huntsville detachment.
Police released very few details yesterday, saying only that
the child was found in the lake at the cottage by a parent before
7 a.m. Regan was rushed by ambulance to South Muskoka Memorial
Hospital, where attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
Although Hwy. 141 runs to the south of Skeleton Lake, much of
the lake's 36-kilometre perimeter is not accessible by road.
Many of the cottages, including the
HARSHAW family's, are only
reachable by boat.
Police were talking to Regan's parents last night to try to determine
if the girl wandered from her bed in the night and fell into
the lake.
"In reality, at this stage, we don't know what happened," said
SMITH.
Foul play is not suspected, but can't be ruled out until after
an autopsy scheduled for today in Toronto, he said.
"We're hoping there will be no surprises," said
SMITH.
The girl's death follows the drownings of a number of other children
in Ontario this year.
On July 24, the body of Terence
THANHTAIK, 6, of Toronto was
pulled from the mouth of the Nottawasaga River 24 hours after
he disappeared from a family picnic at Wasaga Beach.
On June 12, two Toronto boys, Larry
LE, 9, and his brother, Calvin,
7, died after a swimming accident near Guelph. A third brother,
Anthony, 8, survived.
On July 2, Tyler
REID, 6, drowned at a Goderich beach.

Ewart REID,
Economist (1910-2005)
Ottawa economist and idealist was Canada's presence at a United
Nations agency founded to help feed the world's poorest people
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Monday, September
26, 2005, Page S8
Ottawa -- Ewart
REID never forgot the misery of the Depression,
when millions of Canadians struggled to survive amid horrendous
unemployment and general despair. Dubbed the "Dirty Thirties,"
the decade profoundly marked Mr.
REID for the rest of his life.
It made him a life-long socialist, as well as developing a strong
sense of social justice for the less fortunate that later took
him around the world.
Mr. REID was one of many who were attracted to socialism during
the 1930s, keenly interested in finding solutions to the world's
overwhelming economic and social problems. Some thought the liberal
democratic countries, such as the United States and Britain,
were doing a poor job so new ideas should be given a chance.
Rejecting capitalism, many idealists were seduced by Communism
and became apologists for the crimes of Stalin's Soviet Union.
Studying economics at Montreal's McGill University from 1928-32,
Mr. REID didn't become a communist, as some of his peers did.
Instead, he became involved in the Student Christian Movement.
It was an exciting time for Mr.
REID.
Besides working as the
sports editor of the McGill Daily, he took an economics course
taught by Stephen
LEACOCK (who was better known as a humorist.)
That was interesting, he told his son Malcolm decades later,
but Mr. LEACOCK's students had to keep on their toes. "His remarks
in class could sometimes slash pretty hard at us."
Mr. REID also got to know J.S.
WOODSWORTH, the Methodist minister
who became the first president of the Co-operative Commonwealth
Federation. He was influenced, too, by the McGill teacher Carl
DAWSON, who encouraged a social conscience in his students. During
the summer of 1932, Mr.
REID performed field research in various
Doukhobor communities for Prof.
DAWSON's 1936 book, Group Settlement,
Ethnic Communities in Western Canada. Often criticized for their
pacifism and rejection of secular government, the 7,400 Doukhobor
settlers developed one of North America's largest and most complex
undertakings in communal living. Among the communities Mr.
REID
visited were the Yorkton colony near Great Spirit Lake, and the
Blaine Lake colony, both in Saskatchewan. He reported that the
Doukhobors had not discarded the original communistic principles
which they had elected to follow in Canada, but had supplemented
them with farming and business practices learned since their
arrival.
Mr. REID, who came from a comfortable middle-class background,
also spent time in Montreal getting to know the "kings of the
road," or hobos. That included nights in the Old Brewery Mission,
a shelter for the homeless. It was an eye-opener, he told Malcolm
REID. "
They put the soap right on our heads when we went into
the shower. It flowed down on us. It had to wash us."
He learned to respect the views of the footloose unemployed.
"Once, I was sitting in the port of Montreal with grain elevators
[nearby]. A guy came over and said, 'See those elevators? There's
no food for us, but in those elevators there's enough food to
feed everybody.' He was a hobo... or a hobo politician, I guess
you could say."
After obtaining his master's degree in economics in 1938, Mr.
REID was hired by the federal Department of Agriculture.
"He [became] an expert on the transportation of crops to market.
He knew all about grain rates on the Canadian National Railway
and the Canadian Pacific Railway. He testified at royal commissions
on the rail system," said Malcolm
REID. "He loved trains. My
last trip with him was on a train."
After 27 years at the Department of Agriculture, Mr.
REID went
to work for the United Nations' World Food Program in 1965. The
program, overseen by the United Nations's Food and Agriculture
Organization, was founded in 1963 to organize the distribution
of food to Third World countries (19 years earlier, in 1946,
Mr. REID had been a member of the Canadian delegation when the
Food and Agriculture Organization was founded in Quebec City,
just a year after the birth of the United Nations in San Francisco).
Over the next 11 years, Mr.
REID worked in Rome, New Delhi and
Ankara. His job was to ensure that shiploads of wheat, beans,
powdered milk and other foodstuffs arrived to feed workers building
dams, roads, bridges and health centres. He also organized emergency
food deliveries after natural disasters such as floods and mud
slides.
Convincing wealthy countries to contribute wasn't easy at the
beginning, Mr.
REID said later. "We always (had) to fight to
get them to pledge." By 1966, amounts on the order of $275-million
were being pledged.
Co-ordinating the delivery and distribution of thousands of tons
of food over the years was an enormous logistical task. "Whole
ships were sometimes leased, and third-world fleets of ships
were often used," said Malcolm
REID.
Ewart REID, who believed strongly in international co-operation,
liked to make that point from time to time to his sons: "It's
one world, you know."
Ewart Percival
REID was born on July 6, 1910, in Regina, Saskatchewan.
He died on June 15 in Ottawa. He was 94. He leaves his sons,
Ian and Malcolm, and his third wife, Seval
UNAN of Turkey. He
was predeceased by his brother, Howard, and his sisters Margaret
and Eleanor.

COLE,
KarenEdith (née
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH)
After a sudden but courageous battle with cancer, Karen Edith
COLE of Woodstock Ontario was accepted into the Lord's arms on
Tuesday, April 5th, 2005 from Surrey Memorial Hospital in Surrey,
British Columbia. She was taken from us far too soon -- she was
only in her 58th year with so many things she still wanted to
see and do. But she left behind the best of herself in her children,
and we will uphold her legacy for as long as we walk the earth.
Our mother's short life was one filled with many joys, but also
many trials and tribulations. Now, she can finally rest peacefully,
no longer weighed down by the worries of this world. She was
a mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, friend and mentor to
many people. We will never forget what she meant to all of us.
She was a mother to Nikki and Brad
HUNTER of London, Ontario,
Domonique and Angelito
DOMINGO of Bellingham, Washington, Candace
COLE of Aldergrove, British Columbia and Vincent
COLE of Aldergrove,
BritishColumbia.▼She▲ was the daughter of Jack and Sylvia
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH
of Woodstock, Ontario and sister to Kerry
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH of Bradenton,
Florida.She was a grandmother to Desiree
EATON of London, Ontario,
and the hopeful grandma of Dom and Angel's future children. She
was a dear friend to many, but most especially Susette
NEEDHAM
who was the best friend mom had ever known.
Mom was also a mentor to many, and in her death we have learned
even more about her goodness and farreaching generosity. She
will be sadly missed in more ways than we even know yet. But
Mom lived to laugh, and we're certain she's looking down upon
us all now and rejoicing each time we find a moment to smile
or laugh in her memory. So we ought not linger in sadness for
too long because somehow, some way, Karen
COLE will find a way
to reach down from heaven and kick us in the pants if we do.
We love you Mom. The family would like to thank everyone for
their prayers and support these last few months -- they have
meant more than words can express. Support by way of contributions
to the British Columbia Cancer Society and/or participation in
Relay for Life and other cancer initiatives would be greatly
treasured.
